I have 3 headphones currently, all EQ'd to Harman/AutoEQ target.
Fostex TH900mk2 sounds really great with EQ.
Klipsch HP-3 sounds tinny with EQ.
Audeze LCD-3 sounds dull with EQ and a member on ASR has done a specific AutoEQ for my frequency response graph supplied by Audeze, and the result has a 6dBr dip at 5 kHz relative to the target.
My HP-3 probably measures quite differently from Crinacle's measured one, and my LCD-3 definitely measures very differently from Oratory's measured one.
This all leads me to wonder, what are the headphones out there with low unit to unit variation in frequency response?
I believe the LCD-2 (which I used to own) has good consistency these days - Audeze claims the variation is low.
I may have simply gotten lucky with my TH900mk2 - or maybe it's just a consistent measuring headphone. Unfortunately while it sounds great its build quality is poor.
I partly want to sell the HP-3 and LCD-3 and get either an LCD-2 or HD800S.
